More Nesting Material

After a gap of me being away for 2 weeks, and Jim finishing the verandah decking on his 'pat malone', the next load of materials arrived.

The roofing/cladding, guttering, ridge capping and the flooring. John gave us a lesson on installing the verandah rafters, then on to laying the flooring.

Got 1/3 of floor laid, glued and screwed by 4pm.Now, most constructions use 'yellow tongue', a much lighter material, This construction in keeping with the 'industrial strength' theme is in 'red tongue terminator.Much thicker, denser termite resistant, and naturally HEAVIER.See how the Feral Fossils go tomorrow on our own . . .

WELCOME

Tall tales and true of the tribulations, triumphs, tragedies and mainly trivia of two Feral Fossils who have run away to live in the wilds of the bush at St Agnes, Queensland, and who are determined not to "go gentle into that goodnight"
